Our Heritage

Chopin Vodka is a family business that is now in its second generation. We are proud to be 100% family-owned and to have family members working in production, sales and marketing, as well as sitting on our advisory board. Privately held companies are uncommon in the vodka industry, but we view our relatively small size as an advantage: we are able to be involved in the day-to-day operations across our company, personally assuring the quality of all of our products. The passion and care that we have for our craft can be tasted in all of our products.
Our employees are also an important part of what makes our atmosphere special, as many of them have worked with us for more than 30 years. Master Distiller Waldemar Durakiewicz, for example, has worked with us since he graduated from university in 1978. Meet more of the Chopin team below:
